I’m Really Playing Basketball

In front of O'Neal, he hit the mid-range shot with the pick-and-roll of the black and white duo.

When Chen Xiao completed this score, the speculation about whether Chen Xiao deliberately showed off O'Neal's special skills in front of O'Neal came to an end.

Chen Xiao did it on purpose!

And in fact, it is indeed the case.

To be honest, it is absolutely impossible for O'Neal to defend Chen Xiao one-on-one.

Chen Xiao is not a big center, and there is no need for him to go head-to-head with O'Neal.

And when O'Neal's victims fought against O'Neal, it was not a head-on confrontation either.

And it just so happens that Chen Xiao can really imitate every one of O'Neal's stunts.

Olajuwon's steps to the basket, Malone's mid-range shots, etc.

If this is the case, how could Chen Xiao give up his mentality of engaging in O'Neal?

As a die-hard Komit, Chen Xiao was very happy to see O'Neill's mentality explode.

To be fair, for this series, whether O'Neal's mentality explodes or not will not affect the Cavaliers' victory.

However, Chen Xiao just likes it!

Therefore, Chen Xiao was already preparing for today's game and this series before the game.

In this series, Chen Xiao is not just trying to beat O'Neal!

In this series, if we just simply beat O'Neal, how can we be worthy of the dead eagle O'Neal is holding in his hand and say "the first one"?

On the court, facing the shivering O'Neal, Chen Xiao didn't even look at his old rival after making the shot. He smiled and high-fived James before returning to defense.

Seeing Chen Xiao looking so arrogant, O'Neal had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Otherwise, Pierce is unwilling to talk to Chen Xiao now. To be honest, even if Chen Xiao doesn't talk, he can make everyone in the NBA cry.

Do you think the trash talker recognized by various media outlets across the United States is joking?

Who told you that the trash talker must talk trash in order to ‘kill people’?

Like Chen Xiao, who can break people's mentality with his actions and skills without saying a word, that is the highest level of trash talk.

Do you think that is the realm where silence is better than sound?

The game continued. After Chen Xiao hit O'Neal twice in a row with the stunts of Olajuwon and Malone, the Suns players on the court saw O'Neal differently.

O'Neal is angry again!

To be honest, after O'Neal came to the Suns, Suns players rarely saw O'Neal so angry during a game.

Originally, they all thought that O'Neal had adopted a new mentality.

But looking at it now, I'm afraid the man hasn't reached the sad point yet.

O'Neal is not trying to cultivate his character. O'Neal is still the same O'Neal, and Shark is still the same Shark.

After Barbosa dribbled the ball into the half court, according to the original plan of the Suns, he had to cooperate more with Stoudemire at the beginning, or use his speed and explosive power of Wade to break through and pass the ball to Quentin. Richardson, the Suns need to open up their outside space so that O'Neal can operate more easily under the basket.

To be honest, this tactic is actually very good. Gentry is not a mediocrity. Although the Suns' lineup this season has great flaws, he is also using his best efforts to make the Suns' offense more layered.

You know, after most coaches get O'Neal, they will frantically hit the ball inside, but Gentry knows that only when there is outside can there be inside, not to mention that the current O'Neal is not really the most peak O'Neal, but has the peak O'Neal of the tail.

In this case, the Suns absolutely cannot stick to O'Neal, the so-called most dominant player in the league.

And this is why the Suns defeated the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

If the Suns' head coach was not Gentry, but an ordinary NBA business coach, I'm afraid the Suns would have lost in the Western Conference Finals.

Do you think Popovich is that easy to beat?

At the very least, it's impossible to defeat Popovich and the Spurs with O'Neal's Suns.

There was no problem with the tactics Gentry prepared for the Suns in this game.

But under Chen Xiao's stimulation, O'Neal was obviously not ready to execute it.

Seeing O'Neal like this, Barbosa certainly had no choice.

Gentry on the sidelines had nothing to do.

O'Neal has absolute sovereignty over the team.

Moreover, Wonder Boy's behavior of constantly uncovering O'Neal's scars, if O'Neal does not fight back, I am afraid he will be laughed at for the rest of his life.

Therefore, facing the angry O'Neal, Chandler is now under great pressure.

In this finals, he is prepared to show that he is definitely not a parallel import as the second place player.

But facing a strong attack at the basket like O'Neal, Chandler was still a little weak.

It would be much better if he replaced Diop.

But Diop was a little slower. If Diop was replaced, the Cavaliers would have to fight a positional battle with the Suns, and this is definitely not what Carlisle and the Cavaliers want to see.

Playing a positional battle with the Suns, isn't this looking for death?

Bang!

After O'Neal swept away Chandler's defense, he succeeded in filling the frame with both hands!

Very agile, very fast, and very dark.

Don't think that O'Neal can't clear the way with his elbow. Who among the offensive players from that era can't do this?

Compared with the players of that era, the new era NBA players of this era are really just like White Lotus.

The main reason is that there is no soil for becoming a master of the elbow forest. David Stern has been catching up on this kind of thing.

It's just that O'Neal's status is there. In this era, outside superstars have body hair whistles, and similarly, those inside superstars also have body hair elbows.

That's not an elbow, that's body hair!

Isn't it just a brush of body hair? How can there be such an exaggeration!

Therefore, after O'Neal succeeded, Kenny Smith on the sidelines jokingly said: "Shaq played an offense that spanned time. He was using British guns to kill American officials. Facing an attack like Shaq's, the young man At a loss."

At this time, Mr. Zhang, who was sitting not far from Barkley and Kenny Smith, was a little angrily: "Chandler's defense is very good this time. Although he has been suppressed, he has not lost his position and has been in control. , but he was elbowed in the end, and the referee was indifferent. This is the superstar whistle in the NBA. It would be much better if Chen Xiao stood behind O'Neal, but Chandler is not Chen Xiao, and he is facing O'Neal."

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Xiao Su next to him interjected and said: "O'Neal actually has a lot of this kind of offense this season, because he was too strong at his peak, so the referees won't think that he is relying on such small moves now." Elbow, but relying on his own strength, O'Neal's approach is too stupid, and he has no qualities as the second player in the league!"

If Howard heard Xiao Su say this at this time, he would definitely agree with it. In the Western Conference Finals, Howard was really defeated by O'Neal.

During the game, he even pointed at O'Neal and said he used his elbow to the referee, but the referee didn't believe him.

O'Neal's history in the past is too glorious, which makes it acceptable for him to use elbows from time to time.

O'Neal doesn't use it much in a game, just a few times.

But, how difficult is it for you to defend O'Neal? You finally defended well once, and O'Neal suddenly elbowed you. How uncomfortable was it for you? Will your mentality collapse?

In short, O'Neal is playing very 'smart' now.

For things like elbow skills, Wade also asked Chen Xiao to learn self-defense. To be honest, Chen Xiao also wanted to learn it, but he didn't learn it very well, because the system didn't have the attribute of elbow learning, and he was also a basketball beginner with little basketball experience. , unlike those players who have been playing basketball since childhood, their elbow skills have been acquired since elementary school.

Closer to home, after O'Neal scored, the Cavaliers attacked. This time when the Cavaliers attacked, the entire Cavaliers audience was looking forward to it.

No way, in the two attacks just now, Chen Xiao used Olajuwon's and Malone's unique moves to beat O'Neal respectively, which made everyone see that Chen Xiao was going to use O'Neal's bitter master's unique skills to beat O'Neal in this game.

Therefore, everyone began to look forward to who O'Neal's next victim would be.

For Americans, they like this kind of excitement too much.

In fact, not to mention everyone, even the Chinese like this kind of excitement. The Chinese audience in front of the TV are also looking forward to Chen Xiao's next move.

At this time, O'Neill, who had already become the focus on the court, saw Chen Xiao who was in front of him again, and began to think about the sufferer of his career in his mind.

I don't know, this thought is really a bit shocking.

He entered the playoffs for the first time. When he first came to the playoffs, he was swept by the Pacers led by Reggie Miller.

In this series, Reggie Miller averaged 29 points per game and shot 55% from the field. This is definitely his fault.

Entering the playoffs for the second time, he and Penny led the Magic to the finals, and finally was swept by Olajuwon in the finals. Everyone knows this. His statistics are good, but, to be swept is to be swept Sweep, no matter how good the data is, it is still a sledgehammer.

Entering the playoffs for the third time, they were swept by Jordan in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the fourth playoffs, he came to the Lakers and was not swept again. Malone swept him 4-1 in the semifinals. However, in his fifth playoffs, Malone quickly put Without making up for his sweep, Malone and the Jazz swept the Lakers he led in the Western Conference Finals.

Then he played the playoffs for the sixth time. In the Western Conference semifinals, he met the Spurs led by Duncan. In this round of the series, Duncan led the Spurs and swept the Lakers he led. In this round of the series, Duncan was 29+11+3+1 +2, and he is 24+13+0.5, not only not as good as Duncan in scoring, but also in shooting percentage. In this playoffs, it is said that Duncan dropped him, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Then, just when the whole world thought Duncan was going to dominate the league, Duncan got injured, and then his great Shaquille O'Neal took advantage of the situation.

Achieved the second three consecutive championships after Jordan Bulls.

In the past three years, there have been no victims.

However, the following year, they were swept by the Nets in the Finals and defeated by the Cavaliers in the first round.

There is no doubt that Chen Xiao is his victim!

Thinking of this, O'Neill looked very ugly and gritted his teeth.

I don't want to know this, but this thought is really shocking.

Did the great Shaq have such a miserable career?

Except for the three years when he was invincible with the Viper, every other playoff season was either swept, beaten, or gentlemanly swept.

Thinking about it this way, O'Neal started to doubt his life.

No joke.

After three consecutive championships, O'Neal has never systematically sorted out his career.

Now after being forced by Chen Xiao to comb it out, O'Neal's face, which was originally angry, has turned green and white.

His career is really not that great!

Even his greatest three-peat...

What would have happened if Duncan hadn't suffered that serious injury in 2000?

On February 1, 2000, in the focus of the battle between the Lakers and Spurs, the Lakers lost 81 to 105. He had 31 points and 7 rebounds, while Duncan on the opposite side had 29 points and 18 rebounds.

Of course, there are no ifs in history. Duncan tore his meniscus that season and it was torn.

but!

O'Neill gritted his teeth and shook his head, shaking all the images and what-ifs out of his mind.

"This kid did it on purpose!"

He deliberately told me that the great Shaq is not that great!

If Chen Xiao could read minds, he would be very surprised to know O'Neal's thoughts. O'Neal was right. Chen Xiao wanted to tell him that O'Neal was not that great!

In addition, Chen Xiao is also telling O'Neill: "Your greatness is not yours alone. Your greatness is also the result of the boss of our department. Think about it yourself with your big head. If there is no boss of the department to accompany you, In those three years of your life, will you have such great achievements? Why do you have to abandon your useless wife after you become famous, and why can you always bring your own grandma to win the championship? ’

As a die-hard Ke Mi, Chen Xiao can't stand this the most. You can't say that our Ke Mi boss is too strong. Your success is all because of our Ke Mi boss. Is this a fact?

Therefore, anyone can dislike Kobe Bryant, fans can, opponents can, but you, Shaq, can't!

Before our division boss grew up, we were swept five times in six playoffs, which really beat you!

And this is why Chen Xiao has always been full of resentment towards O'Neal.

And this resentment will never go away. As long as O'Neal does not recognize Kobe's contribution to his career, Chen Xiao will always let O'Neal remember who his career is great because of!

"Don't worry about who I am as a monster. As long as I can still play basketball, I won't allow you to terminate our department boss like this!"

Go ahead and apologize!

On the court, Chen Xiao repeated his old tricks. After picking and rolling with James, he once again used Malone's mid-range shot to complete a mid-range shot next to O'Neal!

A swipe!

Another hit!

Everyone was stunned when they saw Chen Xiao, Malone's mid-range shot.

The fans at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, the commentators on the sidelines, the players, and the professionals were all stunned for a moment.

Even O'Neal was stunned.

Did you agree to use the special skills of my suffering masters?

Why do you still use Malone?

"Wonder boy is this?!"

To be honest, at this time, even many commentators on the sidelines who like to guess the players' thoughts can't guess what Chen Xiao wants to do.

In the previous two attacks, one was Olajuwon and the other was Malone. Is it just that we found out that you want to use O'Neal's unique skills to beat O'Neal.

Now, with your reminder, we know, so what then?

Then instead of using new stunts, do we want to use the stunts of Olajuwon and Malone for a while?

In response, Barkley looked at Kenny Smith next to him. At this time, facing Barkley's questioning eyes, Kenny Smith said that he was not sure what was going on.

Just watch the next game.

Let’s see what Chen Xiao means.

After the first quarter of this game, except for the initial dream improvement, Chen Xiao never used his dream steps to beat O'Neal under the basket.

Throughout the first quarter, as long as Chen Xiao was attacking next to O'Neal, he always used Malone's mid-range shots!

At the end of the first quarter, looking at the scores of the two teams on the court, Gentry, who was sitting on the sidelines, kept shaking his head.

31 to 26, in the first quarter of this game, the Suns played really well.

But Wonder Boy's position is too flexible, which makes the Suns, who lack a forward swingman, very uncomfortable.

The best player to defend Chen Xiao is the kind of player who can swing in the third and fourth positions.

The pure 4th and 5th positions can only defend Chen Xiao's basket, and the pure 3rd and 2nd positions can only defend Chen Xiao's outside.

As for Chen Xiao, he is sometimes inside and sometimes outside. Most teams can barely use swingmen at the second and third positions to match up, but for the Suns, even swingmen at the second and third positions are not that easy to find.

This is really being beaten by the Cavaliers and the Wonder Boy. The Wonder Boy can fight however he wants. If you want to use Olajuwon's way, use Olajuwon's way. If you want to use Malone's way, use Malone's.

Of course, Malone used it more often, and Olajuwon only used it once.

Gentry speculated that it would be difficult for the Wonder Boy to beat O'Neal the way Olajuwon did under the basket.

Of course, this was just speculation, and he wasn't sure whether it was true or not.

In fact, for Gentry, the score in the first quarter was acceptable.

31 to 26, just five points behind.

This is certainly acceptable.

But what is Gentry unacceptable?

That is, you can't be behind by about five points in every quarter.

Everyone knows that NBA games have ups and downs. In the first quarter, if the team feels better, it will take the lead. In the second quarter, if the team feels better, it will catch up.

Generally speaking, strong teams cannot always maintain a few points lead over their opponents in every quarter.

No one can have such a stable offense without relying on touch.

However, what happened next made Gentry and the Suns players incredible.

In the first quarter of the game, the Suns fell behind by 5 points in a single quarter because they were not as strong as the Cavaliers.

In the second quarter, the Suns continued to be inferior to the Cavaliers because of their strength, falling behind the Cavaliers by 3 points 25 to 28.

In this quarter of the game, the young rotation players of the Cavaliers were actually in average condition and feel because they were playing in the finals for the first time. The rotation players of the Suns were not that strong, and the two teams played a 50-50 split.

But in the end, in the second quarter, the Cavaliers still led steadily by 3 points, and the Suns still had no chance to catch up by any point.

In the third quarter, the Cavaliers won 26-22 by 4 points.

It’s still that kind of incredibly stable!

When the game got here, Gentry still didn't know why the Cavaliers' offense was so stable in this game, with no ups and downs at all.

“That’s what Karl Malone’s team is like!”

Not to mention Gentry, O'Neal, who has played against Karl Malone many times in the playoffs, also felt that almost exactly the same atmosphere.

Every quarter is close, you just can't catch up, this feeling of despair is really exactly the same as when you played the jazz!

Even Malone in front of the TV was staring wide-eyed at this moment.

"He is not only imitating shapes, he is imitating even gods!"

In this game, Fantastic Boy is really playing O'Neal in Malone's style!

Because Malone's mid-range shot is the most stable offense, when your mid-range shot is stable enough, you rarely have big ups and downs in the game, and when your team has you as the core, this team is also that good. An incredibly stable style.

The explosive ability may be a little less, but it is stable enough.

If the opponent does not have enough strength to break such stability, he will be boiled to death like a frog in warm water.

Now O'Neal and the Suns players feel the feeling of boiling a frog in warm water.

"This kid is reminding me of the fear of being dominated by Malone!"

At the end of the fourth quarter, O'Neal, who was standing on the court, stared at the number 24 of the Cavaliers with his right hand raised.

110 to 95, this is the score of both sides in this game.

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers beat the Suns 25 to 22 in a single quarter.

The scores in the four quarters are very close when viewed individually. If they only looked at the game or the score in a single quarter, few viewers would believe that the score difference would be so big at the end of the game.

But in the end, the Suns lost the game at the Gund Arena, under Chen Xiao's Marlon style control, almost unable to even struggle.

At this time, not only O'Neal and the Suns players on the court, but even Barkley on the sidelines were staring blankly at Chen Xiao's technical statistics in this game.

He made 16 of 29 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, 42 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the game.

If you just look at this technical statistics, you may not see anything.

But what if 20 of Chen Xiao's 25 two-pointers were Marlon-style mid-range shots?

Moreover, he took 5 shots in each quarter, and the shooting percentage in each quarter was 3 out of 5. This is terrifying!

"It's simply not Malone, but it's Malone!"

"Won't Wonder Boy prepare to simulate O'Neal's suffering in every game in this finals?"

"And it's more like O'Neill's sufferer than O'Neill's sufferer!"

"Wonder Boy proved that Shaq is not as good as Malone in this game, so what will he prove in the next game?!"

If that's the case, Barkley is suddenly excited.

Mysterious boy playing like this is simply like the Chinese torture!

"The Wonder Boy is using Ling Chi to kill sharks!"

Buckley roared excitedly.

To be honest, in this game, Chen Xiao imitated Malone's game style very well.

Even Malone himself felt very similar, as if he was playing on the court himself.

And this is why Barkley and the others believe that Chen Xiao can imitate other players as well.

And that's why Barkley and the others believed that Chen Xiao could slaughter sharks in this way.

"This way of killing sharks is simply unheard of!"

"Wonder Boy is really like what he said, no one knows how to kill sharks better than him!"

At the post-game press conference, when a reporter asked Chen Xiao about Barkley's statement, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, stretched out the same finger as O'Neal, and even said the same thing: " One!”

"First!"

When Chen Xiao finished speaking in English and Chinese, the entire post-match press conference was full of excitement.

"What a cruel way to kill a shark!"

"But seeing that dead fat man so miserable, I'm so happy!"

Soon, the entire NBA world was boiling!
